Technologies for implementing the radio equipment directive

This invention describes a system for radio devices to prove they meet European Union regulations. It uses a secure, isolated part of the device's electronics, called a Trusted Execution Environment, to store official compliance documents and a "CE mark" flag. When the device receives an authorization code, its main processor activates specific radio functions, which also sets the CE mark flag, confirming the device meets required standards.

Why it matters: The EU Radio Equipment Directive has seen significant cybersecurity updates since 2020, with new requirements becoming effective in 2024. This makes secure, verifiable compliance mechanisms, like those using Trusted Execution Environments for storing conformity data and managing software activation, more critical for manufacturers.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedTrusted Execution Environment hardware and software
